POWER-OPERATED saw.

To all whom it mey'oonoem.

.Be it known that I, MANsEL E. NAYLOR,

I a citizen of the United States, residing at Cincinnati, in the county of Hamilton and- State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Power-Open. ated Saws, of which the following is a specification. I v

This invention relates'to a power operated sawandfhas particular reference to apparatus of this character which is well adapted for use in cuttingboards or the like into longitudinal strips. v Animportant object of this'invention is to rovide an apparatus of the above men-' tioned character, which is a time-saver, easy to operate, reliable in such operation, and

comparatively cheap to manufacture.

A further object of this invention is to provide means whereby-the operatormay conveniently control the 'operationbf the tion with the apparatus.

Other objects and advantages of this invention will-be apparent during the course of the following description.

In the accompanying drawings forming a d part ofthis specification and in which like numerals. are employed to designate like parts throughout the same, Figure 1 is a f perspective view of the entire apparatus Fig. '2 is a central vertical-longitudinal sec- 't ional view through the" saw portion of the apparatus, parts thereof being shown in elevation, Fig. 3 is a transverse sectional view taken on line'3-3 of Fig. 1," Fig..4 is a similar view showing a different form of cutting element, Fig. 4 is a longitudinal sec-,- tion through a movable sleeveincluded in driving connecting means, Fig. 5 is an outer 1 fragmentary'side view of a portion of the frame work of the apparatus, parts thereof being shown in section for showing a switch, Fig. 6 is a face'view of the switch block showing the rheostat connected therewith,

A Application filed February 20, 1913. Serial No. 749,71?

Fig. is a face View of the opposite side of the switch block, and, Fig. 8 is a fragmentary perspective view of the handle which operates the switch.

In the drawings, wherein for thepurpose of illustration, I have shown a preferred embodiment of my invention, the numeral 9 designates a frame or support as a'whole, compr'ising'horizon'tal side rods 10, which are connected at'corresponding ends with end pieces 11, which are connected by screws or bolts 12, as, shown. I The opposite ends of the horizontal rods 10 are connected with a horizontal. stock or body portion 13, -ineluded in the saw portion of the apparatus, as-sh'own. The'stock 13 carries upstanding arms 14, 15, 16 and 17,. One pair of the rodslOextends through openings 18 and 19 formed throughthe arm 14. The upper rod 10 which extends into the opening 18 does not :pass outwardly-therebeyond, for a purposeto be hereinafter explained. The upper rod 10 of the other pair extends into an opening 20 formed through the upper end of the arm 16. The lower rod 10-0f the same pair extends through openings 21 formed in the arms 16 and 17 and serves-to pivotally support a vertically swinging carriage 22, having its forward end mounted between the up'standing-arms14 and -15,'as shown. ,This' forward end of-the carriage 22 is capableof moving vertically between the arms 14 and 15 are provided with reciproc'atory latch 24, Which-is slidably mounted upon the free end of the carriage 22. This latch is attached to-one end of a reciprocatory rod 25, which operatesthrough openings 26. formed through an enlarged housing 27 of the carriage 22. A compressible, coil sprin 28 serves to normally urge the latch intrthe openings or notches 23.

The rod 25 is moved longitudinally intone direction by a pivoted lever 29, connectefi-v therewith by a flexible element 30,. whic asses beneath a pin or guide roller 31. Be

0w and'adjacent to the lever 29 is a hand grip 32, which is preferably formed integral with the carriage 22. As more clearly shown},

' in Figs. 3 and 4, the housing 27 has one side 33 removable, thesame being held in place "by means of screws 34 or the like.

Rotatably mounted within bearings 35 carriedby the housing 27 and the removable side thereof, is a shaft or spindle 36,

upon which is rigidly mounted a saw 87 or other cutting element. This saw 37 is pref erably detachably mounted upon the spindle 36 and is clamped thereon by clamping nuts 38, between which and the saw are preferably arranged spacing rings 39, as-shown.

In Fig. 4 a diiferent form of'cutting element are dispensed with and Only the clamping nuts 38 used.

The numeral 4ldesignat'es a motor, which is .preferably a shuntwound motor,.but it is to be understood that the invention is in'no sense restricted to-the use of a shunt wound motor, as a series wound or compound wound motor may be 'advantageously em ployed. This'motor 41 is rigidly mounted upon,a transverse horizontal support 42,

provided with depending apertured cars 43 to receive the upper horizontal'rods 10, as shown. The support 42 may be moved longitudinally of the upper "rods 10 to 3S1" sume a I desired position thereon and the bolts 44. A flexible and extensiblevdriving cutter 37 and the motor 41, the same comprising a shaft 45, having a universal con- 36' able sleeve 48, which is slidablyqmounted upon a drive'shaft 49. A transverse pin or spline 50 is carried by the shaft 49 and operates within elongated slots 51. .Rigidly connected with the inner end of the shaft 49 is a small gear 52,'engaging a large gear 53, which is rigidly connected with an armature between the saw.37 and the motor 41 is -self adjusting, and the same is necessary on account of the vertical adjustment which may I beimparted to the carriage 22, as above stated.

The numerals' 55' and 56 designate feed and return wires which are: connected with the poles or brushes of the motor and are hence included in the armature circuit.

Connected in series with the shunt field more clearly shown in Figs. 6 and-'1 is electrically connected with a plurality of spaced contacts 59. nected with resistance coils 60, which'are connected in series, as vJ's-customary 'T-hese ed with spaced contacts 61.. Aspring contact 'arm 62 is adapted to engage with the contacts 59 and 61. The spring contact 62 '59 and 61 and. associated elements are suit-f e5 ably mounted upon-a switch block65, dis

same is locked in such positionyby clamping nection 46 with the spindle 36. At its oppo-. site end the shaft 45 has a universal connec-' tion or joint 47 with a longitudinallymovshaft 54. The drivingconnecting means.

circuit are w'ires 57 and 58. The wire 57, as

The wire 58 is electricallycon' the motor: may be entirely out out of circuit or cut into circuit for receiving the proper amount of current, to-caus'e the motor to stopor operate at a desired speed. Any other form of rheostat or switch may be employed to'control the operation of the motor. 7 5' Longitudinally movably mounted upon" the lower rods 10 is a transverse guide 69, 4

provided witha'longitudinal opening for (receiving a'clamping'rod 70, which is pro vided. with recesses 71, to receive the rods 30.

10, as shown. The c'lamping rod 70 is disposed in, a plane below the lower rods 10, as is obvious. The clamping rod 70- has its free end screw-threaded, as shownat '72, for engaging within a screw-threaded open- 35 ing formed in the end of'the guide 69. A

head 73 -is carried by the opposite end of the clampingrod 70.- The-operation of the apparatus is as fol-' lows :'The transverse guide 69 is fii-st gjo moved to the desired position upon the lowerrods 10, depending upon the width. of the strip to be out: The transverse guide 69 is then placed in engagement with one longitudinal edge of the board, the operator hold- .ing the handle64 in his left-hand and the j hand grip 32 in .his right-hand. It is ob-' vious. that he may readily move the entire apparatus longitudinally 'of the board .and at the same time turn the handle 64 forreguand. q

lating the" operation of the motor 41. also raise and lower the carriage 22.

. 'It is to be understood that the forml-of my Y '1 invention herewith shown and described, is

to be'taken as' a preferred example ofthe' 16-5 same, and thatcertain'changes in theshape,

size and arrangement of parts may be re-'\ sorted to .without departing from the spirit ofthe invention or the scope of the sub joined claims. Y 11o Having thus fully described my inven-' tio'nfI claim:'
